Several large photovoltaic power stations have been built, mainly in Europe. Germany has a 10 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic system in Pocking, and a 12 MW plant in Arnstein, with a 40 MW power station planned for Muldentalkreis. Portugal has an 11 MW plant in Serpa and a 62 MW power station is planned for Moura. A 20 MW power plant is also planned for Beneixama, Spain. A photovoltaic power station proposed for Australia will use heliostat concentrator technology and will not come into service until 2010. It is expected to have a capacity of 154 MW when it is completed in 2013.[1].
For comparison, the largest non-photovoltaic solar plant, the solar trough or concentrator solar power (CSP)-based SEGS in California has an installed capacity of 350 MW. The largest nuclear power stations generate more than 1,000 MW.

Solar power station in Victoria
Template:Future power plant A large new Solar power station in Victoria is planned. Solar Systems has announced a world-leading 154MW photovoltaic (PV) heliostat solar concentrator power station for north-western Victoria. The A$420 million project will generate 270,000 MWh per year, enough for more than 45,000 homes. It will aid in reducing salinity and create jobs during manufacture, construction and operation. It will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 400,000 tonnes per year.[13] Full commissioning is expected in 2013, with the first stage to be completed in 2010.[14]
